Redblacks at Roughriders picks and predictions

Prediction

Redblacks 31, Roughriders 14

Moneyline

The Redblacks are 2 different teams when they win and lose. In 3 wins, they average 33.3 points per game. In 4 losses, they average 13.0 per game, never scoring more than 15.

The Roughriders have allowed over 30 points in 2 of their last 3 games. They have scored 13 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games.

Betting Ottawa here is not a bad play but they have also covered the spread in each of their wins. The -110 line for them to cover is slightly better than -135 to simply win, so go with the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

Ottawa has covered the spread in all 3 of its wins. They are, though, 1-2 ATS as favorites.

The Roughriders have not covered the spread yet this season in a loss.

BET REDBLACKS -2.5 (-110).

Ottawa RedBlacks at Saskatchewan Roughriders odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Ottawa RedBlacks at Saskatchewan Roughriders matchup, with CFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Ottawa RedBlacks (1-0) come off a bye to visit the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2-0) at Mosaic Stadium Saturday for the final game of Week 3 CFL action. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the RedBlacks vs. Roughriders odds and lines and make our best CFL picks, predictions and bets.

Ottawa upset the Edmonton Elks 16-12 on the road in Week 1 before receiving an early week off. The win came despite QB Matt Nichols completing just 12 of 20 passes for 71 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. The RedBlacks defense keyed the victory with 3 interceptions off of Elks QB, and former Ottawa starter, Trevor Harris.

Saskatchewan defeated the BC Lions 33-29 at home in Week 1 and throttled the visiting Hamilton Tiger-Cats 30-8 last week. The ‘Riders are playing a third straight home game to open the 2021 season before a Week 4 bye in a very friendly start to what hopes to be a Grey Cup-challenging campaign.

RedBlacks at Roughriders odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Roughriders 19, RedBlacks 16

Money line

PASS on the money line due to the chalky price on the Roughriders as home favorites.

The Montreal Alouettes came of their Week 1 bye to rout the Elks 30-13 on the road in Week 2. These early-season byes are very helpful for rest and watching game film after the 2020 CFL campaign was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, it’s unlikely to be enough of a boost for the RedBlacks against the powerhouse ‘Riders.

Against the spread

Bet on the REDBLACKS +10.5 (-125) to cover the most lopsided spread of the season and keep it tight.

Again, the extra week to prepare based on how the Roughriders played last week will be a great advantage for Ottawa. The RedBlacks defense was dominant in Week 1 and the veteran Nichols should show some improvement in his second game with his new team.

Over/Under

Back the UNDER 46.5 (-120).

The rested and well-prepared RedBlacks defense should slow down a Roughriders team with 63 points through two games. On the other side, the ‘Riders defense held the Ti-Cats to just 8 points last week after shockingly being carved up for 29 points by the Lions in Week 1.
